Anet A8 20mm Printed Rubber Foot

thingiverse

I designed these to minimize vibration from the printer going through a cupboard I had it sat on, which was creating a loud bassy tone. With the feet installed, this sound is greatly reduced. I know there are other options available, but they can create flex in the frame, which can negatively affect the print quality. An 8mm slot is for the main frame and front, while a 5mm slot is for the Z stepper parts as they help stabilize the frame. I use eight altogether: four on the rear part of the frame, one each on each Z stepper surround, and two at the front. I used supports for the holders, ten percent density lines in Cura, which are easy to remove. I print the holders in PLA and the feet in TPU - 10% infill for the feet, with your choice for the holders. The feet will be softer or harder depending on the infill, so experiment if they don't suit your purpose.
